I think that you're probably referring to Papyrus Magdalen Greek 17 (P64)
which was not discovered last year, but rather was redated by Carsten P. 
Thiede from ca. 200 (see Colin H. Roberts, "An Early Papyrus of the First
Gospel," Harvard Theological Review 46 [1953]: 233-237) to ca. 70 on the
basis on paleography.  Thiede's arguments may be found in "Papyrus
Magdalen Greek 17 (Gregory-Aland P64): A Reappraisal," Zeitschrift fu"r
Paleographie und Epigraphik 105 (1995): 13-20 and further in the Tyndale
Bulletin (I don't know the full ref.).  Thiede's revised date was 
disputed vociferously on Ioudaios last year by Stuart Pickering and, in 
greater detail, by Sigrid Peterson.
